How do we collect information about you?

We obtain information about you when you use our website or use our services, for example, when you apply for a visa or use our visa application
services. Also, we may obtain information from secondary sources, for example; in the verification of a document as part of the visa application
process, if the client government has requested that we do that. Then we may contact, for example, credit rating agencies, fraud detection agencies,
educational establishments, previous employers, and other entities, in order to obtain additional information.

What type of information is collected from you?

We only collect the information that is required by the client government in order to submit the visa application or provide a requested service. The personal information we collect is dependent on what visa you are applying for, this is because the information we collect is determined by the government that grants the visa.

This list is not exhaustive and varies depending on the client government’s requirements and the services you request from us.
If you want to know exactly what personal information will be collected for your visa or travel document application,
please contact our Data Protection Officer or contact the diplomatic mission concerned at the address above.

How is your information used?

TTServices will only use your personal information for the specific visa application process or to provide to you an addition service that you have requested, such as, courier delivery of your visa to your home.
We may use your information to:

• Book an appointment with one of our visa submissions officers at a Visa Application Centre (VAC);

• For the purposes of carrying out verification procedures in relation to your visa or travel document application;

• To prevent crime;

• To seek your views or comments on the services we provide;

• With your permission, to send you communications which you have requested and that may be of interest to you.

How long do we hold on to your data for?

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We are legally required to hold some types of information to fulfil our statutory obligations (for example; Taxation legislation). We will hold your personal information on our systems only for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity as mandated by our client government, or as long as is set out in any relevant contract you hold with us.

Who has access to your information?

We will not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes unless you have explicitly consented. You can withdraw this consent at any time by updating your account preferences on-line where applicable or contacting our Customer Centre whose details you will be given when you make an application.
Your personal information will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent. We may share your personal information with companies belonging to TTServices where it is necessary for the processing of your requests or to deliver an additional service you have requested, for example; if you asked us to deliver your travel document to your home or office, or to carry verification procedures or in the prevention of crime.

Authorities:

By applying for a visa or other type of travel document your personal information will be sent to the foreign diplomatic mission that represents the country you are applying to visit. This diplomatic mission may share your personal information with an applicable governmental, regulatory, or enforcement authorities for the prevention of crime or terrorism.

Third Parties for legal reasons:

Third Party Service Providers working on our behalf:

We may pass your information to our third-party service providers, agents subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process payments or deliver your visa to you by courier). However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes. Please be reassured that we will not release your information to third parties beyond the TTServices network for them to use for their own direct marketing purposes, unless you have given us permission to do so.

Third Party Product Providers we work in association with:

We work closely with a small number of third-party product providers to bring you a range of quality and reliable services designed to bring you the best travel experience. For example, when you pay for your visa application we will need to have way to process payments. The relevant third-party provider will use your details to process your payments and carry out their obligations arising from any applicable laws. In some cases, they will be acting as a Data Controller of your information and therefore we advise you to read their Privacy Notice. These third-party product providers will share your information with us which we will use in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

Transferring your information off-shore:

As part of the services offered to you through this website, or in a Visa Application Centre, the information which you provide to us will, in most circumstances, be transferred to off-shore countries. This is because by applying for a visa or other type of travel document your personal information will be sent via the diplomatic mission to the country you are applying to visit. These countries may not have similar information protection laws to your country.
We may transfer your personal information to one of our data centres in the UK, Canada, Germany, India or Russia depending on which country you are applying to travel to.
As part of the visa application process we will seek your consent to transfer your personal information “off-shore” even though it is a necessary part of the application process we are obliged to ask your permission to transfer your personal information.
Please contact our Data Protection Officer if you would like specific details.
